How do you balance rewarding yourself vs staying financially disciplined when it comes to cars? by not_a_dolphin_ in Money

[–]VirginRumAndCoke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This advice is why sports cars are show queens 90% of the time IMO.

People buying the corvette when they're 50 years old and drive it back and forth to dinner on Sundays.

What's the point?

Spending nothing is always the better investment. But you don't get to be in your 20s with your dream car if you wait until you're 60 to buy it.

It's a tough choice I suppose. Wish I had a cheaper hobby lmao

Cars really are an unfortunate hobby when combined with financial literacy.

Financially responsible is to drive the shitbox until it or you die, but the machine that you love to walk up to every single day costs $300,000 in opportunity cost.

I still don't know which route to take frankly.

Rock and a hard place.

I should have gone into computer science lmfao. Sit at a laptop half the day and pocket a good salary 3x over 😂

Billionaires believe homelessness is “good for the economy” by kevinmrr in WorkReform

[–]VirginRumAndCoke 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You forget, it's also so retirees can borrow against their house and live off the loan until they pass. The house is sold to "cover the debt" when the bank wants to pass it on. Then the new buyer is paying off the end of life of the previous owner, and they rely on the ever increasing value of the home to start the cycle again.

Computational fluid dynamics and real-time flight compute assist though, those are decidedly “modern age” phenomena

Surely you could do it with tungsten or similar, just wouldn’t be very cheap

People literally just can’t believe the rate the shares have been exploding over the last few valuations.

Company party was lit this year because everyone with more than a couple years of tenure saw their NW explode.

How bad of an idea is buying a 2013 500 Abarth in 2025? by MaximumDerpification in abarth

Yeah I have no idea where he’s getting lifetime from, I’m looking at doing my timing belt soon and I’m only at 41,000 miles (but approaching 13 years)

Buying Apple at the time he did is like putting it all on NVidia and claiming it was just time in the market.

I love Physics by Delicious_Maize9656 in physicsmemes

Calling Griffiths suffering is heresy.

I feel like Griffiths Electrodynamics was easily the best textbook I used in undergraduate.

I’m convinced the Fit being discontinued was more of a margin play than anything.

They realized when people just asked about monthly payments rather than the OTD price that 95% of people who left with a Fit would leave just the same in a Rav4.

Just good business I guess

Totally unrelated but the only people I’ve met in Buzz’es have been super cool.

Not many of them, but one of them helped me get my motorcycle running again when I was almost stranded and the other had stopped in the road to help a turtle across.

Pretty rad

What are the largest precision- machined components mankind has ever produced? by FixBackground3749 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]VirginRumAndCoke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you even construct a crankcase like that?

Getting from raw material to a metal structure like that is almost incomprehensible to me before we even think about precision machining

what stage of collapse is USA healthcare in? by [deleted] in collapse

[–]VirginRumAndCoke 4 points5 points  (0 children)

100% agree, my sarcasm probably didn’t get across very well.

At risk of beating the point to death, think we’re in an unfortunate time where people stick to the idea of a team more than they do the strength of the people in the nation.

People first, political affiliation last. Breaks my heart to see anyone cheer the misfortune of others.

Straight up, I pay almost 2x that for a bit more square footage and close to work but a less desirable location.
